The 41-year-old comedian didn't appear to be laughing when he shared a picture of himself wearing a swimming cap over his left eye, after he had four stitches above his eye and was told to keep them dry following a challenge that went wrong on the Sky One quiz show.

Sharing the picture on Instagram, he added the caption: "Make sure you keep the stitches dry."

Jamie - who broke his wrist on the show last year after Romesh hurled a football at him from 120ft - jokingly replied: "I mean it was 2 stitches you're a joke . You broke my wrist I have never mentioned it (sic)"

In the latest incident, former footballer Jamie was said to have been stood at the bottom of a ramp when Romesh slid down and whacked into him, with the padding on the 46-year-old star's outfit catching 41-year-old Romesh above the eye, leaving him bleeding.

A show source told The Sun newspaper: "Romesh tried to shrug it off but it just wouldn't stop so had to go to A&E after. He had four stitches but is in good spirits."

Romesh was given a plaster but he had to go to hospital to have stitches when the wound wouldn't stop bleeding.

Jamie also had to go to hospital last year when he fractured his wrist during filming on the show when Romesh dropped a ball on him from 120ft.

A source said at the time: "The boys were trying to break a world record when Jamie had his accident.

"Romesh went up a huge crane and dropped a football on Jamie, who was standing directly beneath him.

"Jamie put his right arm up to protect his head but the ball came down at such a pace, it caused Jamie a lot of pain.

"Jamie put on a brave face and continued with the show before taking a trip to hospital.

"He was diagnosed with a broken scaphoid bone and is expected to film the rest of the series in a cast."

A League of Their Own returns to Sky One and NOW TV this summer.
